I mean listen, show me a good auto manufacturer that hasn't been controlled by a fascist government?

Well, as of Jan 2025 that eliminates all American car brands.

As of years before World War 2, Henry Ford was a fucking nazi.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He was indeed. I was referring to all the others.

Yeah there are some good car parts made here, but then they get installed in the worst designs and build quality since 1970s Britain.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yep, (and even if not for him we did have Andrew Jackson once) German, Japanese, and south Korean are out too. Italy is doubly eliminated.

The Aussie auto industry when it was still going made some good stuff!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Australia isn't real. Its a joint Chinese-new zealish psy op to make Brits do a silly accent dometjnes

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You mean Ford and Holden (GM)? I love the idea of utes, especially instead of to dozers we have in the US, but their cars mostly 1960s evolved tech, until they started sticking Japanese motors in some of the Holdens in the 90s.

Yup those two manufacturers, and don't forget the mighty Barra

Absolutely amazing unit those things,

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I’ve seen lots of Mighty Car Mods and Skid Factory about them, in the US LS engines make too much sense to bother with a L6 of any kind.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's fair, and tbh at one point you could pretty much look in a bin a fine a perfectly serviceable barra just good for the using 😂
